How should I prepare for my first doctor's visit for my headaches?

Prepare for your doctor's visit by gathering information about your headaches. Try to organize information describing your headache pattern and figure out what questions you need to have answered right away. Here are some hints to help you get started: Keep a headache diary for 1-2 months before your visit, if possible, and bring it to the visit.

Try to summarize your past treatments for headache, noting what worked, what didn't, and which medications weren't tolerated well. Collect all of your current medications and be ready to bring them to the visit. - Get any old records that pertain to your past headache treatment, including the results of tests.

You do not generally need to bring in the actual X-rays unless the doctor specifically asks to review them. Don't expect the doctor to review them during the office visit. Often she will review them after you leave if there are questions about your history.

- Write down a list of questions that you want answered. Prioritize them by selecting three or four that are the most important for you to have answered right away. Visit one or more of the websites about headaches to get a general understanding about headaches.

Sometimes it is helpful to bring in a friend or relative with you who can act as an extra pair of ears regarding the instructions and explanations. Preparing for your visit in advance is the best way to make sure that your healthcare provider will have what she needs to best determine what's causing your headaches and what treatments are most likely to be helpful.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
